Communities
Learning communities represent a collaborative approach to professional development, where educators come together to share knowledge, experiences, and resources aimed at enhancing teaching practices and student learning. These communities can take various forms, including grade-level teams, subject-specific groups, or interdisciplinary collaborations, and typically focus on specific goals or challenges within the educational landscape.
